What is a Writing Center?
A Writing Center is a student-centered, collaborative resource where trained consultants help their fellow students with writing and public speaking assignments. For our particular center, this means assignments for PFW Campus classes and academic-related events (this includes assistance for IUFW students!).
​
Simply put, writing centers are places for writers to seek feedback on their composition assignments at any point in their process. Writing centers help writers improve their writing, knowledge of disciplinary conventions, and confidence by offering advice based on training, skill, and experience.
​
We meet with you virtually and in-person to help with compositional questions and concerns, like developing and supporting your thesis, understanding the rhetorical situation, organizing ideas, citing sources, improving clarity, incorporating peer and instructor comments, and more. We don't tell you what specific changes to make in an assignment, but we work with you to understand what is working--and what isn't working--in your assignment, and to make revisions.
